If you have enjoyed the rest of or any of the Build-a-lot series, this is a must try. Definitely a must have for the Build, Time Management, & Strategy players out there. I have loved this game. I believe that it is the best to come out of the Build-a-lot series so far. I loved the 3 Types of game play besides the regular casual play and the challenge that the 2 new types presented. In fact I'm even having trouble getting through one! It is great! The graphics are good and seem to improve with each version of Build-a-lot. I enjoy that the challenge isn't in acquiring the blue prints for what you need in this version, but instead in what you have to accomplish with what you have and the space you have to do it in. Very nice! I really enjoy being able to go back and improve my own time on any level. I look forward to making my way through all the types of play available in this game. It is almost like getting 3 games in one - Fun City! Show less
I recommend this game!

I'm an avid follower of the 'Build-a-lot' series, and this one is on par with the Elizabethan game. Its got all the usual goodies associated with this genre, with added appeal, because of the style and layout of the levels. This game is fun for all the family, as well as exciting and easy to understand. The tutorial is very good, and I really like the 'twists' within the levels (you'll have to ...Show more

I give this game 9 out of 10 for 'playability'

I loved this. The levels were really challenging but not so much that I lost all patience. The walkthroughs are really helpful though I only needed to use the guide once, as the rest of the time I could figure it out after three or four attempts. I do hope that another version comes out with some additional things to do - I read somewhere that there was a build-a-cable-car level but maybe that's ...Show more

I do hope that another version comes out with some additional things to do - I read somewhere that there was a build-a-cable-car level but maybe that's another version? It would be great to have some things to do that are apart from building the houses.
The graphics are excellent and the sound effects, too. One of the best games I have played! Show less

I think the build alot games are really fun but unlike other people I play the games for the casual mode which I love on all the build alot games. I don't play the campain on any of them. I think the campain is way to hard mainly because of the time limit but I guess others do though. I do reccomend any of the games of the bunch
I recommend this game!

Good clean fun!
I enjoyed it and played it almost straight through. A little challenging.
This is a game I won't mind playing over and over again instead of playing it once and forgetting it.
I recommend this game!
